IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

VIRGINIA CHIU, an individual, and No. 83734-6-I
VINCENT LIEW, an individual,
DIVISION ONE
Appellants,
PUBLISHED OPINION
v.

BRIAN HOSKINS and the marital
community thereof,

Respondent.

FELDMAN, J. — Virginia Chiu and Vincent Liew (Tenants) appeal the trial

court’s order on summary judgment, findings of facts and conclusions of law, and

judgment in this landlord-tenant dispute. Tenants claim that their landlord, Brian

Hoskins, failed to comply with various provisions in the Residential Landlord-

Tenant Act of 1973 (RLTA), ch. 59.18 RCW, and chapter 7.24 (Rental Agreement

Regulation) of the Seattle Municipal Code (SMC). The trial court concluded that

Hoskins failed to comply with several such provisions but declined to award

damages because it concluded that Tenants had not suffered actual damages.
